We continue to clean out unfinished posts from 2006 – The Management
Come spring of 2007 Pave will be considerably lessened. Jack will leave us. Whoever replaces him -- no matter how Jack-like, which is to say franchouilliste -- can only be a shadow in the shadow of Jack. We are not weeping. Jack is an ass. The sooner he is gone, the better for France and the turning of the world.
But France's (and the world's) gain is Pave's loss. As a consolation to those who have an interest in a re-elected but unelectable Jack, there is a board game where a roll of the dice may lift your spirits.

LE JEU DU "JACQUES POTE"
OU COMMENT DEVENIR PRÉSIDENT DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE
[THE "JACQUES POT" GAME
OR HOW TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC]
PARIS 15 décembre 2006 (AFP)
December 19, 2006 (Paris Link) - A new game mocks Jacques Chirac's potential bid for a third term as President. Dubbed "Jacques Pot", it has been created by a lawyer who is familiar with the many legal tussles at the Elysée during the 12 years of Jacques Chirac's Presidency. Maître Pierre-François Divier is selling the board game at his own office for 10 euros.Jacques Chirac, whose friends are involved in a case of electoral fraud stretching back to the 1980s when he was mayor of Paris, has not commented on the board game that pits players against each other in a bid to re-elect the incumbent President.
... The aim is to reach the final square, which proclaims "You have been re-elected!"
The question of whether Jacques Chirac will actually stand for re-election will be decided early in 2007. While many doubt that he will stand, Maître Divier told LCI that: "knowing him, he won't take a back seat".
Yes. We will have something more to post on Jack's protracted third-term tease.
